Booming fintech sector mapped

Six Park CEO and co-founder Patrick Garrett has congratulated FinTech Australia on its first map of the nation’s fintech landscape.

The map shows where the body’s 119 members fit within the fast-growing fintech ecosystem and how they overlap. Wealth and investment make up the largest sector.

“The map illustrates how far we’ve come in such a short time. Such a vibrant and collaborative community, it’s nice to be part of a movement that is redefining an industry for the benefit of consumers,” Garrett said.

“To imagine what this map would have looked like just two years ago says a lot about the pace of change that happens when bright people work passionately on creative ideas with real meaning and impact.

“We’re beyond excited to be part of this movement and can’t wait to see this map two years from now.”

Six Park was a recent finalist in FinTech Australia’s second Annual FinTech Awards in the Innovation in Wealth Management (Robo-Advice) category.

“As American scientist Alan Kay said, ‘The best way to predict the future is to invent it.’ Good on FinTech Australia for helping us all along this journey,” Garrett said.
